Team USA survives Sweden in a heart-stopping overtime thriller at the 2026 Milan Games — and it was Quinn Hughes who delivered the moment. Jonny Lazarus is joined by Steve Peters to break down USA’s dramatic OT win, Hughes’ dominance on both sides of the puck, and the defensive structure that carried the Americans through one of their toughest tests of the tournament. The guys dive into the controversial six-on-five tying goal, Jacob Slavin’s game-saving play, Charlie McAvoy setting the physical tone, and whether Clayton Keller or Kyle Connor should sit moving forward. They also debate USA’s identity compared to Canada, preview the semifinal matchup with Slovakia, and ask the big question: are we officially on a collision course for USA vs Canada?

Presented by bet365 — whatever the moment, it’s never ordinary.
